ABOUT THE PROJECT
With fellow diaspora gardeners in Detroit, Sonali Devarajan examined the relationship between ancestral knowledge and new strategies for relating to land, in particular through the lens of soil conservation. In a city primarily perceived as plagued by scarcity and in need of revitalization, how can these strategies offer more accurate perspectives of abundance through relationships that inform design processes?
